IK SOUTH. Al
ilit dispatches from thaNrar
Africa during the past few day* are In
striking resemblance to those that fol
lowed the beginning of the Invasion of
the Transvaal by the British fovore two
yean ago. The Boen appear to have
regained mttoh of the territory which
the British.have claimed to have ao-
qnind and “padded," the names of the
same plaOes ooonrring In the reports of
recent engagement* that figured In
thon at the beginning of the war.
The significance of the latest news
from 8onth Africa Is that Lord Kithener
baa utterly failed to enforce his proola
motions. The last time limit fixed by
him for the surrender of all armed op
position has expired, and, instead of
surrendering, the Boen have met the
British foroes and whipped them.
Utrecht, where Major Ooogh was en.
tnpped last week, was the scene of a
similar ambnsoade eighteen months
back. Acton Homes, where the Boen
reappeared on Friday, Is eighteen miles
south of Ladysmith, prominent In the
early hostilities, and the Natal colonise
ate mustering for the defonse of the
Tngela, as when Gen, Jonbert invaded
Natal In 1899. In Cape Colony, fight
ing Is again going on sonth, of Storm
berg In territory Inverted by raiden
and their pursuon half a dozen times.
It is evident that the Boen are far
from being conquered, and that thoee
in the Bold have no thonght of giving
np the fight. Meantime there le a freeb
outburst of Indignation in England
agatnet the government and the condnot
of the war.
While the world hae bat little donbt
as to the final outcome, there is abund
ant reason for believing that the British
government haa realized that lta under
taking waa greatly underestimated from
tlio beginning.
A Buffalo dispatch says that friends
of the enrgeone who were in attendance
on President McKinley are blaming cer
tain of the dootore for the mis takes
whloh were made In the diagnosis and
the treatment of the oase. While none
of the dootore will be made reeponeible
for exonees, It ti nevertheless a fact that
two pleas are being put forward whloh
are calculated to ehleld all of them. One
of these plena is that they knew the Pres-
dent’s actual condition and misrepre
sented it to the pnbllo at large npon or
ders from the members of tbe oabinet,
who wished to oonoeal it for reasons
whloh have not been glvon. The other
pleats that the ballot whloh pleroed the
President's body was poisoned, and that
the necrosis of the tissues wbioh came
in contaot with it oonld not reasonably
have been foreseen.
The good things that are being eatd of
William McKinley by the vampire prose
remind the Memphis Scimitar of certain
wards of Lord Bnoon: "Death," said
he, "hath this also : That it openeth
the gate to good tame aud extlngaisheth
envy."
THE JOHiNNAH WEBBOLOWSKY
SCHOOL LIBRARY.
Announcement wee made in the
Houu> some time ago ot the lotting
•part by Mr. Morris Wesloaky of this
city of a fond for tbe establishment and
maintenance of what is to be known as
the Johannah Wewolowsky School
Library. Tbla library ie the memorial
of a loving ion to a sainted mother, and
la Intended to furnish the white school
oblldren of Dougherty oonnty who are
unable to boy books for themselves, or
whose parents may bo unable to provide
them, snob books as they may need for
■tndy In school.
Mr. WesUnky placed the oare and
management of this library in tbe
hands ot the County Sohool Oommis
sloner and the Oonnty Board of Ednca
tion, and Mr. L. E. Weloh, the County
Sohool Commissioner, Informs tbe Hkk
ald that a supply of books has been
pnrohased for the nse of thoie who
apply for them at tbo opening of the
fall term of the schools of the city and
oonnty.
The books are not to be given, bnt
loaned, to tbe oblldren. Eooh book is
labeled, aud the hoy or girl who is given
thebonefiteof Mr. Weslosky's philan
thropy u expeo'ed to take good oare of
tbe books need and return them to the
library when they are through with
them. That the books used by one
olass of oblldren this year can be nsed
by other* next year, and the plan la to
increase tho supply of books from year
to year.
Mr. Weloh Informs ns that Prof. A.
F. Ware, Assistant Principal of the Al
bony Academy, has been made libra
rian, and that the books will be furn
ished to oblldren through their class
teaohers. Of coarse the books will not
be handed ont Indiscriminately, bnt any
boy or girl will bo supplied by making
the fact known to the teacher of hie or
her olass that he or she desires to
beoome a beneficiary of Mr. Wes-
loeky'a philanthropy. The books are
provided for the nse of the poor boys
and girls of the oonnty, and it la hoped
that there will be enough to supply all
the deserving.
If her name had been Silverman in
stead of Goldman, the rampant organs
of soldburlsm who charred William J.
Brjuu with lining an anarchist In 18IM
•fid 1900 would probably bo clamoring
now for the Demnerotlo leader's head
and demanding the deportation of all
who voted for hint for president.
The advent at the White Hones of a
President with an average family, say*
the Philadelphia Reoord, makes re
newed and sharp disclosure of the foot
that this great oountry haa no domioile
large enough for Us Chief Magistrate.
In the resldenoe wing of the exeontlve
mansion there are but five sleeping
apartment*, while the Roosevelt family
with nnree, governess, maid and house
keeper, numbers twelve persons. Under
snoh olronmstancoa the bonslug of the
President’s family In dccont quarters is
a serious problem, a solution for whioh
•honld be promptly found by tbe lnoom
lug congress next winter.
Tho latenesa of the ootton crop this
year, coupled with a good deal of rainy
weather, has kept a good many farmers
from mooting their obligations for the
first of September. On aocouut of the
conditions known to exist, however,
there has been no disposition on the
part of bonkers or merchants to press
their claims.
The Czar ot Russia haa made his visit
to France and departed without acci
dent or untoward ctreumstanoo. The
extraordinary vigilance of the Frenoh
authorities made tt imiwssiblo for orenks
or anarchists to reach tho royal visitor,
aud every possible precaution was taken
■gainst acoldcnt in traveling. The feat
ure of tho visit was at the close of the
festivities. At the Innoheon whioh
followed the review of the French army
speeches woro made by President Loubot
end the Otar In whioh the world was
pot on notion that the oompact between
, the powers had bean renewed. The
Franoo-Rueslan alliance waa affirmed
iA term* that cannot be misunderstood
Tho faol is now recnlled that Ronso-
vt it is the fifth President to comn out
of Now York, making that stato the
equal of Virginia as "the mother of
Presidents.” Of Now York’s flvo,
howorcr, three, Fillmore, Arthur
and Roosevelt, succeeded Presidents
who died in ofilco, while of Virginia's
Presidents four, Washington, JetTerson,
Madison nnd Monroe, were eleoted to
office by the people, whllo Tyler wont
in by snccceslou npon the death of
Harrison.
President McKinley was hurled on
the twentieth anniversary of the death
of President Garfield. It seems a rather
singular coincidence. Garfield died just
twenty years ago yestorday. Goiteau
shot hta victim July 3, 1881, bnt death
did not come to the reUef of President
Garfield until shortly before midnight
of Friday, September 19,18S1.
Czolgosz, the assassin of President
MoKinloy, baa quit talking. He even
refused to apeak to the lawyers that
were appointed by theoourt to defend
him, and when arraigned in the oourt
to plead "guilty" or "not guilty” tOthe
lndlotment he was apparently as nn-
oouoerned as though he had been deaf
$nd dnmb.
Tho clamor that hae been started for
the expnlalon of Senator Welllng'on, of
Maryland, from the United States
Senate, beoaase of the words spoken by
him npon bplng informed of the shootr
ing ot President MoKlnley, has oansed
a search of the reoords for a case that
would serve as a precedent. According
to the Constitution, eaoh house of Con
gress Is the sole judge of tbe qualifica
tions of its members, and may expel a
member for any cause whloh it may
deem enfflolent. The Senate has oxer-
deed this right in four instanaes.
William Blonnt, one of the flret two
senators from lenneesee, woe expelled
in 1797, bolng oharged with taking part
In a oonsplrnoy to deliver New Or
leans, then a Spanish city, to Great
Britain. Daring the oivil war period
three senators were put out, viz:
Johnson, ot Virginia, for making a
speech subsequent to his elootton, evinc
ing a spirit hostile to the government;
Polk, of Missouri, for giviog aid to the
publication of a secession newspaper,
and Bright, of Iudiaua, for "disloyalty.”
Bright's act which was aaoBtrned as
being disloyal was writing a letter to
Jefferson Davis, rccommeurting a friend
who had an improvement in firearms.
He evplaluod that, the letter had been
written in March 1801, before the war
had begun, and that he wrote it merely
to get rid of the inventor's iinportuni.
ties. Bnt he was expelled on the 5th
day of February, 1803. It will bo ob-
aerred that all of these oases hinged
upon theohargeof treason or conspiracy,
neither of whioh would hold good in
the ease of Wellington.
Czolgosz will hare a speedy trial, and
It Is safe to predlut that not many weeks
will pass before he pays with his own
life the penalty for his monstrons crime.
He will bo represented at his trial by
able couusol appointed by the court, but
there will be no dilly-dallying with tho
law. Tho evidouce will be introduced
in regnlur form, and twelve good men
will reDder a verdlot. What that ver-
dict will bo it is not difficult to imagine.
Ex-Governor Johnston, of Alabama,
has announced that he is opposed to the
new constitution framed by the recent
constitutional convention and whioh is
to be submitted to the people for adop
tion or rejeotion. He says that he pro
poses to take the stamp against the new
Instrument. He is especially opposed to
tho suffrage plan ot the new fundamen-
tallsw.
THE TRUTH OV HISTORY.
The NeW York World, referring to
British treatment of the Boer prisoners
at Bermuda, Intimates that this will
revive the reoolleotlons ot Anderson ville.
The Baltimore Ban, as we learn from
the Angusja Ohronlole (the Herald
doe* not, we are sorry to have to say,
get the Ban), ever ready to defend any
aspersions nn justly leveled at the South,
reads the World a lecture on the truth
of hletory. The Sun shows briefiy, bnt
forcibly, what so many Southern writers
have demonstrated—that there is no
ground for snoh comparisons. Great
Britain is a very rich ooontty, perhaps
the rlohest in tbe world, and has no ex-
onee for barbarous treatment of war
prisoners The condition of the South
ern Oonfedoraoy was entirely different.
Tho South oould barely feed her soldiers
on the simplest and coarsest food. Her
forte were blockaded. Our esteemed
Augusta contemporary quotes from the
Sun:
"Under snoh conditions, when it was
impossible for the Confederate govern
ment to provide food for its own sol
diers in enffloient quantities, it cnnld
not, of oonrao, supply the thonBauds of
Northern soldiers who had been oap-
tured with the abundant and appetizing
rations whloh the Washington govern
ment had no difficulty In providing.
Because of its inability to feed tbe oap-
tive* when its own people were starving,
the Confederate government proposed
an exohange of prisoners. Upon the ad
vice of General Grant and other com
manders the United 8tates government
ref nsed to make an exohaugc. Every
Confederate prisoner released item u
Northern prison, wrote Genera^..Graut
In effeot, will re-enllst In the Con
federate armies, and we will have
to fight them again. Rather than take
this rtak President Lincoln oonolnded
that It wonld be better to leave the
uorthern prisoners In tbo sonth despite
the Insufficiency of supplies It would
have been easy enough to brlug them to
the north, where there was no look ot
food. If the United States government
bad been as soliaitoas about tho welfare
of these oaptlvea then as lb was later,
when the war was ovor, It might have
saved the lives of some of these unfortu
nates.
Notwithstanding the poverty of the
South and tbe soarolty of food in the
last years of the war, It la » sigotdenn
fact that the number of Confederate
soldlen who died in Northern prisons
waa greater than that of Northern sol
diers who died in Sunthern prisons
There was no lack of provisions in the
North, no dearth of cowfortnble cloth
ing, no reason why prisoners should
not have been healthy. The conditions
at Andersonville may have been far
different from what they should have
been. But the same can be said, with
less excuse, for Northern prisons. The
mortality atatlstios prove this beyond
question.”
'A correspondent of the Topeka Capi
tal declares that Kansas sorely needs
a new law, "a chicken law," and he
proposes one as follows: “Any party
or parties raising or owning ohickens
shall forfeit ownership of said chickens
whenever said chickens shall go upon
any other property than that npon
whloh Bald ohiok«ns belong. Said
ohloxens shall beoome tha property
of the owner or renter of the
property npon wbioh said ohiokens
are fonnd; provided the owner or renter
of said property can secure said ohiokens
before they leavo Bald property ;howevor,
said ohiokens returning to their original
owner, before being captured by the
owner or renter of said property, shall
again beoome owner of said chickens.
Therefore, the owner or renter of any
property shall become the owner of all
chickens thereon, even though said
ohickens being looso came on said prop
erty.” Snoh s law wonld lead to riot
and eventually to the extermination o
ohickens in all towns and villages.
CAN THIS BE TRUE!
It is hard to believe, yet aooordlng to
a Buffalo special printed In the New
York World, a prominent phynoian who
had been "fixed” by a "great New
York financier" was sent to President
MoKinley’s bedside to join the attend
ing physiolane for a special purpose—
thut purpose being purely mercenary
and to make the reports as to the dying
President's condition aa optimistic as
possible, in order to give certain finan
cial Interests time to steady the mar
kets. It is stated in the World special
that "a physician of high standing,
who has been Intimately associated with
all tbe developments at tbe Milburn
house since the late President was shot,
made a somewhat startling statement
tonight. He said he knew tt to be a fact
that one of tbe leading phyBloianB iu
the oorps of attendants npon Mr. Mc
Kinley had deliberately caused unduly
hopefnl statements to be made to the
publio before the collapse whloh pre
ceded death."
The World’s informant, whose name
for obvious reasons cannot be dlsolosed,
said: “I have reason to believe it was
a great Now York flnanolor whose in
terests are probably more widespread
and important than any other man in
the flnanclul world who recommended
the doctor I refer to.
"He more than any one else was re
sponsible for the misleading statements
regarding the President's condition.
His course in making optimistio an
nouncements, supplementing the very
hopeful bulletins issned, was to give
time to steady the markets.”
SLOPPING OVER.
We have never seen so mncli cant,
suoh unrestrained hysteria and so maoh
slopping over as has followed the death
of President MoKlnley. The limits of
good form aud self respect have been
passed by somo of our Southern news
papers, and to read them and take them
serionsly Is enough to make one feel
that all of ns who live in the South and
vote the Democratic tioket committed a
great orlme when we vutod against Mo-
Kinlcy for president. It is all right; it
is indeed mete ' aud proper that we
should all pay doe respeot to the nation’s
dead. He was a good man and
a good president, and there Is no rea
son why the people of the Sonth
should not feel real grief at his untimely
death and pay loving tribute to bis
memory as a good man and loyal tribnte
to bis virtues as a Chief Executive, but
it iB possible to transoend tho bounds of
good taste and be too ostentations even
in matters of this kind.
PROFIT II OIL HILLS.
The enterprising Moultrie Observer
Is urging lta local capitalists to bnild
a ootton oil mill, and submits some fig
ure* with referenoe to the cost of pot
ting np and operating a one-press - mill,
and the profits that may be realised
from It, that are Intereating. The Ob
server says the figure* whloh It gives
have been famished - It by a gentleman
who has been interested in the.oll mill
business ana is anxious to have a mill
started In Monltrlo. It therefore re
gard! the figures as reliable. We quote
from the statement submitted by the
Observer, as follows:
A one press mill with a daily capaolty
of ten tons, or one thousand tons a sea
son will oust about as follows:
Machinery $7,500
Building aud lot 2,500
Operating capital 3,500
Capital stotk needed $13,500
He thinks that a one press mill wonld
for the present use what seed that oan
be conveniently obtained at this market.*.
The profits of oil milling are very large
larger in fact than that of most any
other business iu this territory. Our
imformant gave no the following esti
mates on the expenses and profits of
running the mill:
Cost of seed per ton $10.00
Cost of inannfaotore 8.00
Total $18.00
A ton of seed produces
750 pounds meal $ 8.00
900 pounds hulls 8.00
40 gallons ail 13.00
30 pounds lint 1 00
Total vulue products $34.00
Cost of manufacture 18.00
Net profit per ton $ 11 00
Profit on 1,000 tone $11,000
These prices are wholesale, and if the
the meal; and hulls were retailed out
here, as the output from so small a mill
oould be, then the profits wonld be
larger. Bnt even at the flgnrers given,
the.mill would lack only $1,500 of pay
ing for itself 'he first year.
These figures are interesting, and If
they and the statements made with
them are trustworthy, every town in the
ootton prodneing region of the oonntry
should have lta oil mill.
Minister Wn says that Czolgosz' pun
ishment In China would be a thousand
outs with a sabre and the summary ex
ecution of all his blood kin.
Morally speaking, Emma Goldman is
largely, if not wholly, responsible for
the assassination of President MoKlnley.
There ate still enough Boers In the
field to give the British foroes In Sonth
Africa a licking now and then.
The magistrate who fixed Emma Gold,
man's bond evidently didn't waut her
balled.
The medical war on the case of the
late President MoKlnley haB begun.
THE CABINET.
It Is stated npon what is considered
In Washington moat excellent authority

President Roosevelt The manner in

Cut to the Core♦
It Is stated that Airs. McKinley still
boars np ander her great sorrow with
greater fortitude than was hoped for by
her physioians and attendants, bnt it is
not believed that she will long survive
her departed knight. Deprived of the
strong support on whioh she was accus
tomed for so many years of invalidism
to lean, ahe pines away, and who will
say that she does not long for a reunion
on the other side of the mysterious
river?
The death of President McKinley in
creased the business of the telegraph
companies of the oonntry to the amoont
ot hnndreds of thousands of dollars, and
the daily newspapers paid a large share
of It.
The Savannah Press prediots that
either Atlanta will soon find an An
archist "in her midst” or boast that
ansrohy becomes conservative on "tbe
Piedmont escarpment.”.
